Artificial Sweeteners And Your USA Child

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Xarah

When USA parents try to limit sugar in their children’s diets, they often turn to sugar substitutes. There are dozens of sweetening options available.

NutraSweet, Splenda, Equal, Sweet’N Low, Xylitol, Sorbitol, highly refined Stevia (Truvia, Pure Via) possible benefits:
May help kid’s consume fewer calories
Doesn’t contribute to tooth decay
Generally safe for USA children with diabetes (check with your doctor)

Don’t overdo it. Some USA children experience diarrhea and other intestinal problems if they consume artificial sweeteners. If your child is trying it for the first time, go easy until you know how they react to it.

Many people believe artificial sweeteners cause cancer, contribute to weight gain, and cause health problems. Talk to your USA pediatrician for children’s nutritional guidance. I read that they feed pigs artifical sweeteners so they gain weight faster. I personally love Stevia for it’s natural and absolutely not harmful.

To improve your child’s nutrition, ask me about XoBiotics today. It’s a hit with children all over and I am sure your kids will love it also!

Zurich Family Fitness

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Xarah

Many parents in Zurich are concerned about the amount of time their kids spend in front of a screen, either playing games or watching TV. We want to encourage our children to be physically active and thereby healthier.

There are several things EU parents can do to increase their kids level of physical activity. EU pediatricians stress the importance of being a role model for your kids. EU children who see their parents participating in activities are more likely to be active themselves.

When children see their mom or dad doing yoga in the living room or holding a plank position and doing push ups they can’t resist trying it. By turning exercising into a game, you can keep your child interested.

Positive and active parenting is an exciting opportunity to raise healthy and fit kids in EU. I am hoping that today’s kids in EU will be healthier than our generation.

My name is Xarah and I am a local Nuggets representative. I advocate for children’s health and would love to talk to you today. Call me to learn more about kids health and XoBiotics. I recommend XoBiotics because XoBiotics allows me the freedom of running my own business.

Healthy Skin for Zurich Kids

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Xarah

Hi! Welcome to my Zurich children’s health blog. Today’s topic is ‘Healthy Skin for Zurich Children.’

The skin is the body’s largest organ, and it’s easy to take for granted all that our skin does for us. It is our first defense against germs, it regulates body temperature, it gives us the sense of touch, and so much more. This organ is always hard at work and parents in the Zurich area need to be sure it’s working well for their children.

A common skin problem in our Switzerland climate is simple irritation. Irritated skin is more likely to crack, which can increase the risk for infection. If your child’s skin is irritated, look around at some of the products in your home that may be causing it. Soaps, detergents, dryer sheets, and other household cleaners all have chemicals and fragrances that can be irritating. Zurich parents can try switching brands or reducing use of these products.

Basic skin care for children should include moisturizing after bathing, using fragrance-free products, and practicing good sun protection. If dry skin is an issue for your child, pick up a humidifier at any EU, UK, or USA drugstore and allow it to run in your child’s room while they sleep.

If simple skin irritation can’t be controlled, or if your child develops other skin issues, make sure to take them to your Zurich pediatrician.

My name is Xarah Chocolatiere and I want to help Zurich families raise healthy, happy kids. My Zurich home business sells XoBiotics. If you are interested in learning more, visit my website at http://www.XarahRecommends.com/XBN or give me a call.

Zurich Parents: Think Twice Before Buying A Used Car Seat

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Xarah

In these days of rising prices and shrinking paychecks, Zurich parents are trying to save money wherever they can. They shop sales for food, clothes, school supplies, and other necessities.

Many Zurich thrift stores have seen their business increase in the past few years as parents have discovered how much money they can save by buying used items. Perfectly good toys, clothes, books, sports gear, and children’s furniture can be purchased for a fraction of retail price at Zurich thrift stores.

One place Zurich parents should not scrimp, however, is on their child’s car seat. If you are considering buying a used child safety seat, make sure it comes with the user’s manual, the model number, and date of manufacture. You want to be certain that you know the complete history of the car seat. Check to see if it is on the list of recalled products. (Information at http://www.carseat.org/Recalls/recall.shtml.) If it has ever been involved in anything more severe than a low-speed fender bender, don’t buy it.

For more information about children’s safety in Zurich, or my favorite nutritional product, contact me today.

Make The Most Out Of Story Time In Zurich

Posted on January 31, 2012 by Xarah

Zurich parents know that reading with children is essential to their academic success and development, but not all storybook sessions are as productive as others in building literacy skills. EU, UK, and USA parents don’t need to worry, because a few simple guidelines can help your kids get the most from story time.

Instead of zooming through one picture book after another, take time to pause and allow your child to process the story.

Ask questions like, ‘What do you think will happen next?’ or ‘How did that make [the main character] feel?’ Enjoy the artwork and see what your child can infer from the pictures.

Beginning readers can point to each word as you read together. This will help them recognize that letters make up words and words make up sentences and they will get used to punctuation conventions.

Zurich parents may have to work to curb their boredom since kids love repetition and may ask for the same book over and over again. This is normal and healthy for younger kids, but if you have any concerns about their development, you should consult your Zurich pediatrician.

As kids get older you can ask more probing questions such as, ‘What was the most interesting part of the book?’ or ‘What is the setting of the story?’ There are also great opportunities for discussions about problems and solutions as well as themes and morals in almost all stories.

I’m Xarah Chocolatiere and children’s health and development is very important to me. I am the owner of a Zurich home business that sells XoBiotics. If you are interested in learning more, visit my website at http://www.XarahRecommends.com/XBN or give me a call.

Internet Safety For USA Kids

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Xarah

No USA parent wants their child to be exposed to Internet pornography, however, this tragedy occurs everyday. Why is there such a disconnect?

Some USA parents may not realize that their young child can navigate the computer like a pro. Others may believe that their child would never go looking for inappropriate material.

If you think your Zurich kids are too young to worry about it, don’t be so sure. Switzerland parents continue to report that they found out too late that their child was exposed. I urge you to take precautions now.

With Internet pornography increasing everyday and young people succumbing to this cybermonster, Zurich parents wonder what they can do to prevent this from ever happening to their kids.

This advice bears repeating: USA parents should put the computer in an open area so that it can be monitored. In addition, many forms of web protection are available for free. Though it is time-consuming, USA parents would be wise to only allow their child use the Internet with Mom or Dad present.

Talk to your kids and ask them if they have encountered Internet pornography. Ask them what they did or what they would do in such a situation. Though this is a secondary concern: explain to them that certain web pages and ‘pop ups’ contain viruses that can damage the computer. Open communication is essential.

If your USA children have encountered pornography, perhaps at a friend’s house, emphasize its destructive nature and teach them that what they saw is degrading to men, women, and healthy relationships. Internet pornography is a plague with many USA victims, including children. It is up to USA parents and youth leaders to help USA children be safe online.

My name is Xarah and I care about Internet safety for USA kids. For more information about child raising topics, or to hear about a new healthy kids snack, contact me today at blog@sarnetwork.com.

Probiotics For The Prevention Of Eczema In Zurich

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Xarah

If your Zurich kiddos scratch and claw at their skin because they suffer from children’s eczema you might consider including more probiotics in their diet.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that promote the growth of friendly microflora in the intestines. Some probiotic powerhouses you can find in your favorite Zurich grocery store are yogurt, kefir, and kimchi.

Probiotics support digestive health in a number of ways. They have been shown to prevent diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, and help reduce the symptoms of eczema.

Safe and natural probiotics can be an effective weapon in your eczema arsenal. Zurich dermatologists and Zurich pediatricians also recommend washing your tot’s clothing with mild detergents, using humidifiers, and bathing them with mild soap and then letting their skin completely dry.

My name is Xarah and I am a proud chocolate representative. I also campaign for children’s health in Zurich, Zurich, and the surrounding areas. If you would like more information about children’s health topics or my XoBiotics business, contact me today!

Organic Best For Zurich Kids

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Xarah

Food labels can be confusing for Zurich parents wanting to buy the most nutritious food possible for their families. The word ‘natural’ can convey wholesomeness–but that’s not always the case.

Look for more specific food labels like ‘organic’ which means, in fruits and vegetables, that the food is grown without pesticides. Some evidence suggests that organic fruits and vegetables contain higher amounts of vitamin C and other nutrients than non-organic.

The organic label on poultry, meat, and dairy means that no antibiotics, hormones, or pesticides are given to the animals, and the livestock are given only organic feed. ‘Organic’ livestock also must have access to the outdoors, and disease is prevented through natural methods.

‘Natural’ isn’t a term regulated by the FDA, so products with this label may still contain additives. Instead, look for the USDA organic badge, a guarantee that there is no high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oil, genetically modified ingredients, or artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.

Zurich children and infants are the most vulnerable to hormone and pesticide exposure due to their less-developed immune systems and their still-developing brains and bodies. Zurich parents who provide organic food support their child’s health now and in the future.

SpongeBob Doesn’t Care About Your Zurich Child’s Health

Posted on December 30, 2011 by Xarah

National and local Zurich food advertisers can sabotage your Zurich child’s health. Food manufacturers, like most Zurich corporations, are motivated by profit, not by what’s best for Zurich kids.

Their tools are deceptive language, cartoon characters, celebrities, and false promises of popularity. Zurich parents can help youth better handle the constant media barrage by teaching them:

The components of a healthy diet
The implied messages and false promises of Zurich food ads
Nutritional balance and moderation
How to read and understand Zurich food labels
How excessive TV watching and internet viewing can affect health

If you encounter a local Zurich food ad that is deceptive, contact the Zurich Better Business Bureau. To complain about national ads, send a letter to the Children’s Advertising Review Unit, Council of Better Business Bureaus, 845 Third Ave, New York, NY 10022.

Nothing will change until Zurich families unite to fight deceptive advertising aimed at Zurich children. For more information on children’s nutrition in Zurich, call me today.

Diet and Nutrition
